Welcome

Being human is a messy business. It can be devastating, confusing and joyous. And that’s just the morning. But to be human is also to change, to grow, to learn and heal. I believe everyone is capable of this with enough support, acceptance and opportunity.

I would make our time together meaningful by focusing on you, in your entirety. You are more than symptoms, more than a trauma, more than someone ‘damaged’ and diagnosed. I would get to know your values and ideals, even if you think they’re out of reach. I would see what you’ve accomplished to get here, even if you might have forgotten. I would share your experiences in a space that is open and safe, so that you can begin again to see the person I’d see. The person worth the struggle of therapy.

You.

*I am not a licensed SUD counselor and cannot fulfil any legal treatment obligations required by courts.

** If your SI is active, or there are other potentially life ending symptoms and circumstances within your treatment, we would need to create a safety plan and specific boundaries would need to be discussed. Being a solo practitioner I cannot provide after-hour, emergency-sessions or in-person support if in crisis or an emergency.
